 BROADCASTING
AGAIN TODAY FROM WASHINGTON DC
We're located at radio row in the Capitol Hill Holiday
Inn along with talk show hosts from around the country. (See Neal on the webcam! Today he's on the lower right hand cam. Okay, back to the upper left cam.) Yesterday we had quite a few
interesting guests ... today promises to be better. We kicked it off with Karl
Rove, Johnny Isakson stopped by, who's next? For me, this is all a
celebration of the fact that The Poodle will not be sworn in as President
of the United States tomorrow. Thank you God. 
WHO
REPRESENTS THE STATES? Just a thought. As you watch the inauguration ceremonies this week try
to give just a second or two of thought to the original intent of our founding
fathers ... an intent that seems to be lost on most of the people now serving
and working in Washington. That intent was that most of the governing that
affects the people of the United States was supposed to be at the local
level. The Constitution strictly limits the powers of the federal
government, and specifically states that all powers not granted specifically to
the federal government are to be reserved for the states or the people.
Now ... since the states are supposed to do most of the governing, here's your
question. Who represents the 50 states in Washington D.C.? Stumped? Almost every country in the world has some official
representation in Washington, but who represents the states? Answer:
Nobody. You can thank the 17th Amendment. Zell Miller wanted the 17th Amendment
repealed. It was a brilliant move, but the nation wasn't listening. BASHING
BUSH THROUGH CONDI RICE
You poor, pathetic saps in California. Aren't you embarrassed?
Georgia may have Cynthia McKinney, and lord knows that's not good ... but you
have Barbara Boxer. Sucks to be you. In case the left in this country didn't notice, George Bush won re-election
on November 2, 2004. His electoral victory was decisive; he received more votes
than any candidate for president in our nation's history. His opponent, The
French Poodle from Massachusetts, conceded the next day. Game over.
Unless, of course, you're Barbara Boxer. The Senator from California, who is
somewhere left of Fidel Castro on the political spectrum, won't accept the
result. She even went so far as to become the only Senator to challenge the
certification of the electoral votes confirming the president's re-election.
That's something even Al Gore wouldn't go for. So what is she up to now?
Well, after her much more civilized Democratic colleague from California
introduced Dr. Rice with glowing remarks, Barbara
Boxer went to work making an idiot out of herself. She accused Condoleezza
Rice of being a liar, saying she didn't have respect for the truth. She also
whined about how people were still dying in Iraq, and that the administration
had not admitted any mistakes. Basically the standard leftist talking points.
But make no mistake: this has nothing to do with Dr. Rice's nomination to become
secretary of state. This is all about the extreme left's hatred for George Bush,
and their strategy to do anything they can to get the president.
The only problem is it isn't working...they're just making fools of themselves,
and Barbara Boxer is leading the charge.
THE
RELENTLESS PUBLICITY WHORE
 There
is a name for people who seek attention in the media at all costs. They're
called publicity whores -- publicity pimps. Michael Newdow could be
one of the biggest ever. Who is Michael Newdow? He's the character that's been
filing all of the lawsuits claiming to be offended at various expressions of
religion.
You see, Newdow is an atheist, and he thinks everybody else should be too. He's
tried to get the Pledge of Allegiance banned nationwide. No dice. He tried to
get the president's inaugural prayer banned because he claimed it was
unconstitutional. He likewise came up empty. You would think after all of that,
he would go away. Of course not.
In an emergency filing with the Supreme Court yesterday, Newdow claims that a
prayer at the inauguration tomorrow would violate the Constitution by forcing
him to accept unwanted religious beliefs. He also says Chief Justice William
Rehnquist should recuse himself from the case, because he will be swearing in
Bush.
He will get about as far with that one as he has with the other cases. Perhaps
it's time the Supreme Court should put him in jail for filing frivolous
lawsuits. What a waste of space. If the media would start ignoring this
slug he would slither away.
SENATOR
TELLS EUROPE TO GET OVER IT
An odd defender of President Bush's yesterday in the form of Democratic Delaware
Senator Joseph Biden. This would not be what you would call support of the
president. Not even a little bit. Yet he made a statement that is worth paying
attention to.
Speaking at the Condoleezza Rice confirmation hearings Biden had this to say:
"I spent a little time in Europe recently, and I have one simple message:
Get over it. Get over it. President Bush is our president for the next four
years, so get over it and start to act in your interest, Europe."
It's worth pointing out that Biden could replace 'Europe' with 'Democrats' and
make the same statement. Come Noon tomorrow the left will have to live with
George Bush until January 20, 2009. SEND
HELP TO CONNECTICUT Those of you who are represented by Andrew Fleischman in Connecticut need to do
something about this fool. He has spent some time reading the U.S. and the
Connecticut Constitutions and has decided that the people of Connecticut have a
right to know the actual starting time of a movie. A "right" my
friends. So Fleischman has introduced legislation in Connecticut that
would require movie theatres to post the exact starting time of the movie so
that people can skip the ads and preview trailers.
First of all, there's a practical problem with this. If the exact
starting time of the movie is listed that's when people will walk into the
theatre. People who were there a few minutes early will have to suffer
while people are moving about and finding their seats as the movie is beginning. Put that aside, though, and consider an elected official who has created a
whole new "right." The right to know when a movie starts?
It's idiots like Andrew Fleischman who have brought us our burdensome and
hideously expensive local and federal governments. Oh, didn't I tell
you? Fleischman wants this to eventually become a Federal law! Remember this fool the next time you Connecticut folks have an election. READING ASSIGNMENTS
A former ambassador to the United Nations says
that the U.N. funds global terrorism. Now why exactly do we put
up with such behavior on our own soil?
Here is the
transcript of the complete exchange between Barbara Boxer and Condoleezza Rice.
Democrats sure do seem mean these days, don't they?
The government reports that obesity is about to overtake smoking as the #1 cause
of death each year. Wait a minute...check that. The
CDC is now admitting that obesity-related deaths have been overstated.
Perhaps there's hope after all.
The
FBI is abandoning its Internet surveillance technology, known as Carnivore.
Instead, they will use wiretaps on a case-by-case basis. But wait, this
can't be. I thought John Ashcroft was the devil! There must be some
mistake.
The Axis of Evil is growing....we
now have "the six outposts of tyranny." Should keep bomb
production booming, no pun intended.
Mark Steyn takes a look at the uproar over Prince Harry's choice of costume
at a party and points out that the reaction may be more ridiculous than the
actual costume that caused the uproar.
President Bush has been conducting interviews with the mainstream media this
week, and the questions seem to be getting more and more ridiculous. The
Media Research Center reports.
Is it possible that the government is overprotecting us from the war on
terror? Walter
E. Williams says it's a question that deserves t be asked.
You know that story about the U.S. Marine that killed a cop because he didn't
want to go back to Iraq?
Michelle Malkin says almost all of the story is a lie. Must-read
material.
George Bush preaches about an "ownership society" and seems to support
free market solutions to most problems. That is, until it comes to
education. That's when, as
Terence Jeffrey points, the president becomes a big-government man. Seeing eye dog left
package on basketball court during half-time. Liberals are protesting tomorrow's inauguration by not spending money. They're calling it Not One Damn Dime. Won't make any difference, but let them have at it if it makes them happy. |
